A bill to give local police and sheriffs a chance to have more involvement in immigration enforcement advanced Wednesday in the Alabama State House. England said making local police responsible for immigration enforcement could lead to people being targeted and detained because of their skin color, because they don’t speak English, or because of where they work. because of the focus on immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. According to Yarbrough’s bill, current law allows the Alabama attorney general to enter agreements with federal agencies to assist with immigration enforcement. Approval by the committee Wednesday puts the bill in position for consideration by the House.
